The winter holidays can be hard on a lot of us especially with strained or no family relations. What are your coping mechanisms, traditions, celebrations, things you do to get through the season?

Ignore the holiday and enjoy the days off work with hobbies. Either that or enjoy it with friends/chosen family who also don't have family around. I'm used to not being near my family, but my ex's family has been near for several years. Now I plan to just chill with projects or play a game or something.
